After 2 months of my daughter telling me she wants a specific cake for my granddaughters birthday she texts me about an hour ago and asks if I can change it to a night sky. She absolutely hates fondant and the cake has SMBC. Is there anyway I can paint on it? If so with what medium. I have Googled and searched on here and found nothing...
BTW the party is at 1130 tomorrow...
AProbably airbrushing. If you don't have an airbrush and can't get it locally, you can try the food coloring spray. I think Duff has one at Michaels and Wilton has one.
You could use silver dragees in different sizes for the stars.
You don't think I could mix powdered food coloring with vodka and do it?
ASorry, I've never done it. I just looked up some old posts and it seems you cannot airbrush it either. http://cakecentral.com/t/605461/imbc-anyone-paint-on-it
Can you just mix up a bit more frosting and color it, then put a thin layer of the colored icing over your white?
Good luck!
That's all I use. I color it using powdered food coloring but I never tried decorating it with anything but Fondant. She made some Wendy & Peter Pan silhouettes that she wants to fly through the night sky. I was hoping there was some way to paint the scene on

Good lu
That or using fondant pieces for the moon and stars is what I am going to have to do. I tried printing out a scene to get made into an edible image but my printer is out of color ink...lol
LOL..actually she did eat some of the fondant from her birthday cake now that I think of it. It was MMF. She'll get what I show up with and like it..
hi--sure you can paint on smbc--
fwiw i have air brushed on smbc successfully--i mean getting super deep dark colors was never my goal --like if you wanted a deep dark vibrant navy colored skyline using a different medium would be best i agree--but i've surely done all colors including black and grey and i sometimes use stencils too--it's very possible to do what you're suggesting on soft non-crusting coverings--
and i also agree that using the mediums you are comfortable with is a great way to go too
sure--behind the shoe is a colorful tier cake that is air brushed smbc--in fact it's duff's recipe where it's uncooked egg whites because it was a dummy cake--so it's extra greasy--i typically will overpipe some detail--but there's that one--and that's one that i used a stencil of a rose--held it just away from the surface--so they were all the same--this is layered air brushing where i stacked up the colors--
and this was using air brush color sometimes watered down
i thought about you several times lately because my daughter's recent wedding cake was four different tier cakes--where one had a 9" top and one had a 7" cake on top -- no decor no topper--plain--but they were rough iced--god i love rough iced cakes! potential squatapotamous cakes--but they all looked good ;)
OK..here's the cake (after little fingers poked it) My daughter added the Peter Pan silhouettes. I wanted to do a fancy cake but she likes very simple things.
AYou're cake turned out adorable!!!! Love it
Thank you. It is the Sweetopolita Backberry, Vanilla, Marscapone cake. I'm not a blackberry fan at all but think it would have been wonderful with blueberries...
Oh I ended up just using white and yellow writing gel and a tiny paintbrush...
I like it!! For future, I would have suggested that you use piping gel. Blue comes out really dark with that stuff.

I airbrushed this cake, which was covered in buttercream. The brown is fondants but the top and sides were airbrushed dark green. It beaded in a few spots but I just presumed that that was because I was a beginner in a hurry and didn't paint in multiple layers. It did not want to dry, though.
